The guy driving the Koenigsegg is incredibly intelligent, listen to his story

Now lets see it against an Absolut, and then Sadir's spear.

Did he have to swap clutches after he sauced that first run? I've never been on a bike with more than 250 wheel... 375 sounds fucking terrifying.

With any superbike it's all about the launch. It's a struggle to keep the front wheel on the ground with any bike approaching 200 hp, I can't imagine trying to launch a 375 hp bike through the 1/4 mile. With a wheelie bar the bike would smoke the Koen.

These guys can't even keep the front wheel down with a huge wheelie bar.

First, the guy riding the bike may know how to build a tuned motorcycle motor, but he can't drag race/launch a bike worth a $hit. I watched what he was doing when "staging" for the hand drop and none of what he was doing would have given him a good launch.

I wish I could find the video of this guy Norman who was part of a drag race team called "Don't Be Scared Racing". The video was of him running a 2004 ZX-10R at Maryland International Raceway down the 1/4 mile. He did it on a pretty much stock bike that had the front end strapped down and maybe a Power Commander. His time in the quarter was in the 10s. No extended swing arm. No supercharger. If they had a guy that actually knows how to launch a sport bike on a drag strip doing this challenge, it wouldn't even be close.

The other thing is I stopped watching these Car Wow videos as doing these drag races got boring to me as it's the same shtick. I only watched this one because of it being posted here and because it involved a built Hayabusa.

ETA: I found the video. Norman Jackson. My memory was way off. He ran a 9.34 second 152 MPH quarter mile. His mods were an Akra pipe, strapped, and gearing change. Watch how someone that knows how to launch a bike and run it down a quarter mile does it on an otherwise full street bike.

Fuck. I just don't have the nuts to do that kinda stuff anymore. Those crazy drag bikes look terrifying.
